TaskRabbit
TaskRabbit is an on-demand home services marketplace that connects consumers with vetted independent service providers ("Taskers") for tasks ranging from furniture assembly and handyman work to cleaning, moving, yardwork, and errands. Founded in 2008 and acquired by IKEA Group in 2017, the platform operates across all 50 U.S. states and eight countries. Taskers set their own rates, undergo background checks, and receive 100% of earnings plus tips, while clients pay a service fee and trust-and-support fee on top of the task price. TaskRabbit also offers a B2B Partner API enabling retailers to embed assembly and installation services directly into checkout flows.

Alternatives to Consider
Thumbtack
Thumbtack is a nationwide online marketplace connecting homeowners with local service professionals across 500+ project categories. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA, Thumbtack operates a pay-per-lead model where contractors pay only for qualified leads — never a commission on completed jobs. The platform serves 4+ million customers annually, hosts 300,000+ active professional businesses, and has facilitated 90 million+ projects. Thumbtack offers AI-powered matching, professional profile pages with reviews and portfolio photos, background check and license verification badges, and integrations with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Workiz, and Google Calendar. It is strictly a lead generation and customer acquisition platform — job management, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and CRM must be handled in a separate FSM tool.
Angi
Angi (formerly Angie's List / ANGI Homeservices) is the leading US home services marketplace connecting homeowners with local service professionals across 500+ categories. Formed by the 2017 merger of Angie's List (founded 1995) and HomeAdvisor (founded 1998 as ServiceMagic), and rebranded to Angi in March 2021. The platform operates a pay-per-lead model (Angi Leads), display advertising (Angi Ads), and a fixed-price instant-booking service powered by the 2018 Handy acquisition. Angi completed its spin-off from IAC on April 1, 2025, becoming an independent public company (NASDAQ: ANGI). Revenue in 2025 was approximately $1.05B (declining YoY as platform shifted to homeowner-choice lead model). As of 2025 the platform counts roughly 200,000 active service professionals across all trades.
